Well, there have been a couple of hiccups, particularly with the boxing match. When people did get in, sometimes there were too many people that were watching so that everything got buffered. The video wasn't as clear as people are expecting when they watch live events.

So one of the main things I'm going to be watching for Christmas is to see whether people have problems coming in to watch the NFL games. And particularly, as you mentioned, when Beyonce ends up being the halftime show, we know from the Super Bowl, the halftime show gets the highest ratings by far for the game because there's a crush of people that want to come in to see that.

But really, this is a short-term problem. Amazon has proved that it can get tens of millions of streams and still provide a quality broadcast with no buffering. I have no doubt that Netflix will get there. I do have some doubt whether they'll be able to get there next week or not.

Oh, there's huge upside for the NFL. All of the sports leagues have been praying and trying to cajole Netflix into coming in and being a serious bidder for these rights. Because if Netflix comes in to be a serious bidder for these rights, it's like buying a house. If you get more than one bidder, the prices are going to go up.

And what you have now is that you have NFL packages that all of the broadcast networks have, that Amazon has. If they get one more bidder involved that could say like, oh, you know what? I want to take Monday Night Football off of ESPN. And that bidder has deep pockets like Netflix. Sports rights are going to continue to soar.

You know, you mentioned the NFL. Imagine being a New York Yankees fan and you need to get Roku. You need to get Apple TV Plus. You need to get Amazon Prime. You need to get a cable subscription to watch it on Yes Network. All the leagues know that fans are getting disenfranchised by having these games going across so many different outlets like that.
